The following comment was written about this Marriage Message by a man named Israel who lives in Nigeria: “Men are the worst offenders in this matter of saying sorry to their spouses. Men find it very difficult to condescend and say sorry to their [our] wives even when we know that we are wrong. I pray that the MEN that will read this article will let the Holy Ghost do a surgical operation in us and remove pride so that we can say sorry to our wives.”

(ZAMBIA, CENTRAL AFRICA) Many times the Adamic nature in men manifests when they simply refuse to take responsibility and Christian men will go to the extent of lying just to make a woman look bad when they know they have offended her. Many men fail to apologize as they see it as a weakness. A covered wound will fester and if not treated can become septic which sometimes leads to amputation, divorce in the case of marriage. I have been called to mediate many times and have found that many will simply refuse to see their error to a point where they will say the color black is actually red. I believe that true healing comes when we accept our wrong, even Jesus said “Those who are well have no need of a physician.” Many have died with medicine right in front of them because they refuse to accept that they are unwell. Unless we learn to take an issue to the cross; marriages will have many casualties.

(ZAMBIA, CENTRAL) I have been called many times to assist in times when there has been tension between couples due to one having hurt another and most of the time it has been the men who have hurt women. I find the Adamic character at play in men where they refuse to take responsibility for their errors and paint a picture that makes the woman look evil and yet they have erred. I think the way forward is for the offender to look at the situation at hand honestly, a wound that is covered could sometimes fester and become septic, if on a limb may have to be cut off and this is a picture of divorce which I have seen too many times.
